Greater Greater Washington

Here's our roundup of this week's must-read posts.

This week endorsements are in for Wards 1, 6, and the at-large DC Council seat in play during the Democratic primary.

Also, reducing trips that people take by car in DC would turn around our failure to achieve Vision Zero. So why does the District's car reduction goal seem to be adding more car trips? 

Finally, we look at how DC could reverse decades of health inequities by making it safe for more kids to bike around their city.

Our endorsement for Ward 6 DC Council: Charles Allen

Endorsements • May 5, 2022

Allen faces no challenger in the primary, and he’s been a consistent champion of transportation policy that’s sometimes more progressive than we ourselves could dream up.

Tackle child health inequities by making it safe for kids to bike

Caitlin Rogger (Deputy Executive Director) • May 2, 2022

Kids need at least an hour of physical activity each day for their health. DC’s expanding bike network might put that within reach for many more children.
